That is, *This is boldface*. but *This is not.* The difference is the placement of the period within the emphasization. Might there be hope of slight improvement to the you've-been-emphasized detector to allow for :;.,?!"' punctuation? [b] Another display mis-twiddle, brought to mind by seeing Brad Templeton arguing about URL parsing in message bodies, is that PATH=/usr/lib/news:/bin displays as (for those of you not using smileys, and pardon the pseudo-HTML) PATH=/usr/lib/newsbin Is it possible to make recognition of URLs avoid preceding non-whitespace? And for genuine URLs, can smilification be priority-downgraded so as not to interrupt a URL (perhaps based on there being boldface text already present)? (For that matter, can this mis-display be avoided? Hey, bub, let me give you some news: It's a content-less URL, after all.)
